Vanessa
Pros:

I’m a Sarasota local and me and my friends go to eat drink and use the pool, sometimes I don’t have the best experience with the door guy for the pool, but Vanessa behind the bar is absolutely amazing she knows how to treat customers and is a great bartender as well, definitely going to come back and request her she deserves the best!

Unique hotel, great events, excellent staff
Pros:

This hotel is beautiful! I recently stayed with my husband because he had a conference and had a fantastic experience. The facilities were excellent, the rooftop bar is a must-visit, and the art gallery lobby is so unique.

Every team member from the front desk, bartenders, valet, and maids were amazing too! Elise who was answering the phone was a highlight! I kept worrying I was annoying her with all of my questions but she was always kind and bright on the phone. Tyler was also incredibly kind helping us with early check-in. I asked him to call me when the room was ready and he worked magic and called back earlier than I was expecting!

My only complaint is that the room feels a little old and beat up. The furniture has some scratches and the big glass shower door was hard to open. With how much the hotel costs to stay in they really should be spending more money to keep the room in good repair. But the staff by far made up for a few scratches though.

The stay was great and to anyone who is on the fence, I would highly recommend!

First Time Stay - Definitely Going Back!!!
Pros:

I had a wonderful stay at the Art Ovation Hotel in Sarasota. Even though I was only there for one night on business, the experience truly stood out. I was pleasantly surprised with an upgrade to a one-bedroom suite, which was spacious, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable.

The front desk team was exceptionally friendly and helpful, especially since I arrived quite late due to a delayed flight. Despite the long travel day, I slept like a baby—the bed was that comfortable! While I didn’t have time to enjoy the rooftop or other amenities, everything about my stay was seamless and relaxing.

I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and look forward to spending more time at the hotel on a future visit.

5 star service from top to bottom!
Pros:

Chase and the front desk crew were amazing - we stayed at the Ritz Carlton last year (which was fine of course) but we will be coming back every year to the Art Ovation because of this team. Dave and Tin in the restaurant were exceptional as well. The art, the vibe the service: all 5 stars

Pool party perfection!
Pros:

Booked the rooftop pool for my friend’s 60th birthday party. Nicole, the events manager, was so helpful in getting us what we needed to make it a truly memorable experience! From the atmosphere, music and food were fantastic, but it was the service that was exceptional. Rolando told such good care of us. Thanks to all who made it a special night.

Chas at the front desk has made this an amazing stay. We travel all over the world and this man is one of the most hospitable, gracious, and has integrity. What he says he does. He is a tremendous manager and represents the very best in Marriott. We celebrated our 39th and will be back for our 40th because of this outstanding customer service.
